Too funny

Dustin, When you add on heat, do you add same size as you had, less or more ? Thank you once again for sharing your experience.

Now, the cat is out of the bag! We got Dustin and Ammo (ES Journal) supporting it. Thank you for those words Dustin, inspirational, helps me keep fighting, looking for a way.

Labor day :)

Consequently, would you consider a CT at ATR with reads from Market Profile to avoid doing it on a trend day, an edge?

I don't think I have an edge, only thing that works for me is buy low and sell high, particularly when price is extended from the mean in a trending market. Maybe that's an edge, but I doubt it.

Well, I think you would need to demand a few things, your examples are a bit drastic, and not something I would conduct. For instance, considering daytrading, a trending or ranged hourly chart. Point of no return, a change of a trend. Key things like that, including no averaging down...

Surely you got your scars that mark the past hell destinations, like a passport :)

Most instruments are too mean reversive for averaging up to make sense, you would need a strong trend for it to work and if you had suspicions of a strong trend developing, it makes better sense to load up before the trend formulates itself. The real enemy of the markets in my opinion is not...

Short green weeks/months in IPOs by buying PUTS, no TA required, just patience and money management.

In the past I tried trading using fixed stops and many times I went through a painful series of small stops, infamously known in trading circles as death by a thousand stops, particularly when price is chopping, something traders using averaging down would be immune too. They say your trading...

how about statistics ?

Two things come to mind: 1) Inside information, illegal but its not TA 2) Studying fundamentals and going for value

Thank you all for sharing the links, really entertainment stuff.

Volume is extremely light, perfect trend or not I would not touch it.

Start with paper trading, this business is not easy. Best of luck.

I would definitely have to agree with August being the culprit, it's usually a horrible low volume month.
